We have been educating children in Manchester for over 35 years.
We offer grades K-9 and are fully accredited by the state of Kentucky and by the National Council of Private Schools Association.
We offer individually-tailored, differentiated, and hands-on learning experiences, as well as educational and cultural field trips, e.g.

Our goal is to graduate young people who have a balanced education in all areas: academic, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social.
